As you lower NEGOTIATOR_CYCLE_DELAY (along with NEGOTIATER_INTERVAL),  
the negotiator and schedd daemons will use more cpu and network (if on  
separate machines) talking to each other. Also, the schedd may start  
to become less responsive to client commands and job completions. If  
these don't become excessive, you should be ok.
